Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 201510152779.3, filed with the People's Republic of China on Apr. 1, 2015, and entitled “ARRAY SUBSTRATE, TOUCH PANEL, TOUCH APPARATUS, DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY APPARATUS”, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Liquid crystal display (LCD) devices are thin, light, power saving, radiationless, and are widely used in various electronic products, such as computers, mobile phones, and flat screen televisions. An LCD device includes a liquid crystal panel, wherein the liquid crystal panel includes an array substrate, a color film substrate, and liquid crystal encapsulated between the two substrates.
With the development of self capacitive touch display techniques, common electrodes of the array substrate in the display panel can also serve as touch detection electrodes in a self capacitive touch detecting process. Thus, through time division control, touch detecting and displaying can be implemented using different time sequences. As such, touch detection and display can be both achieved. Specifically, the common electrodes are grouped into a plurality of electrode blocks, and the plurality of electrode blocks are connected to a common drive IC (integrated circuit) through wires. During a touch detecting time cycle, a touch detection signal is provided to the electrode blocks, so as to achieve the detection function. During a display time cycle, a display drive voltage will be provided to the electrode blocks, so as to achieve the display function.
However, as dimensions of display screens are becoming larger, there are more electrode blocks configured in a display screen, and more than one drive IC is required to provide voltage signals to the electrode blocks. In practice, it has been found that, it is not easy to keep all the voltages output from the drive IC to be absolutely identical, and results in screen imperfections such as screen appearing as if it is split, which will cause poor user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order to clarify the objects, characteristics and advantages of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The disclosure will be described with reference to certain embodiments. Accordingly, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments disclosed. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure.
According to the present disclosure, an array substrate is provided, which includes: a display region and a non-display region; wherein the display region comprises a first display region, a second display region, and a third display region arranged in sequence; wherein the non-display region comprises a first control module and a second control module; wherein the display region is configured with a plurality of electrode blocks; wherein the electrode blocks located in the first display region are connected with the first control module; wherein the electrode blocks located in the third display region are connected with the second control module; and wherein the second display region includes at least one column of electrode blocks in which some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module, and some of electrode blocks are connected with the second control module. Accordingly, in the array substrate provided by the present disclosure, electrode blocks located in a transition area of different display regions are which are respectively connected with different control modules. Thus, vision disparity on the transition area can be eliminated.
Referring to FIG. 1, an existing display panel is illustrated. The display panel includes a display region 100 and a non-display region 200. The non-display region 200 includes a first non-display region 201 located on a left side of the display region 100, a second non-display region 202 located on a right side of the display region 100, and a third non-display region 203 located below the display region 100. Furthermore, the non-display region 200 at least includes a first control module 21 and a second control module 22. It should be noted that, in FIG. 1, both the first control module 21 and the second control module 22 are located in the third non-display region 203, which is just for exemplary illustration rather than limitation. The display region 100 includes a first display region 101 where electrode blocks connected with the first control module 21 are located, and a second display region 102 where electrode blocks connected with the second control module 22 are located.
It has been found that, voltages output from the first control module 21 and the second control module 22 are unable to be exactly identical. Thus, vision disparity will occur at a transition area 103 (i.e. the dotted box) of the first display region 101 and the second display region 102. Therefore, user experience will be affected.
Referring to FIG. 2 in combination with FIG. 1, an array substrate according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, which is adapted to eliminate vision disparity at a transition area of different display regions.
The array substrate includes: a display region 100 and a non-display region 200. The non-display region 200 includes a first non-display region 201 located on a left side of the display region 100, a second non-display region 202 located on a right side of the display region 100, and a third non-display region 203 located below the display region 100. The display region 100 at least includes a first display region 1, a second display region 2, and a third display region 3 arranged in sequence. The non-display region 200 at least includes a first control module 21 and a second control module 22.
The display region 100 is configured with a plurality of electrode blocks, the electrode blocks located in the first display region 1 are all connected with the first control module 21, and the electrode blocks located in the third display region 3 are all connected with the second control module 22. The second display region 2 includes at least one column of electrode blocks in which some electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21 and other electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22.
It should be noted that, in the array substrate provided by the present disclosure, the display region is divided into two sub display regions, and a transition area of the two sub display regions is defined as a second display region. Specifically, the display region is divided according to the control module with which the electrode blocks therein are connected. That is, the display region, where the electrode blocks connected with the first control module are located, is defined as the first display region; the display region, where the electrode blocks connected with the second control module are located, is defined as the third display region. In combination of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the number of columns of electrode blocks in the second display region is not limited. In other words, the second display region may include one column of electrode blocks as shown in FIG. 2. Or, the second display region may include two columns of electrode blocks as shown in FIG. 3. r, the second display region may include more than two columns of electrode blocks (not shown in the drawings).
When the number of the columns of electrode blocks in the second display region is an odd number, herein we take one as an example, the single one column of electrode blocks may be the one located in the display region 101 and adjacent to the display region 102, or the one located in the display region 102 and adjacent to the display region 101. When the number of the column of electrode blocks in the second display region is an even number, herein we take two as an example, as shown in FIG. 3, the two columns of electrode blocks may be the third and fourth column of electrode blocks from left to right as shown in FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 2, the second display region only includes one column of electrode blocks. Hereafter, we will illustrate the second region under condition of including two columns of electrode blocks, as shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, an array substrate according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The second region includes two columns of electrode blocks, that is, a first column of electrode blocks and a second column of electrode blocks. In the first column of electrode blocks, some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21, and some of the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22 Similarly, in the second column of electrode blocks, some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21, and some of the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22.
The connection configuration (i.e. the connections to the first and second control modules) can also be designed in the way as shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 4, an array substrate according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. Specifically, the second region includes a first column of electrode blocks which is located on a left side of the second region and a second column located of electrode blocks which is located on a right side of the second region. In the first column of electrode blocks, some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21, and some of the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22. In the second column of electrode blocks, all the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22.
Referring to FIG. 5, an array substrate according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, which is similar to the configuration of FIG. 4. Specifically, the second region includes a first column of electrode blocks which is located on a left side of the second region and a second column of electrode blocks which is located on a right side of the second region. In the second column of electrode blocks, some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21, and some of the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22. In the first column of electrode blocks, all the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21.
Furthermore, in order to solve the problem of vision disparity, arrangement of the electrode blocks in the second region is limited by the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the second display region 2 includes at least one column of electrode blocks in which some of the electrode blocks are connected with the first control module 21, and some of the electrode blocks are connected with the second control module 22. It should be noted that, in the second region 2, the electrode block connected with the first control module 21 is defined as a first electrode block 231, and the electrode block connected with the second control module 22 is defined as a second electrode block 232.
With continued reference to FIG. 3, the electrode blocks in the first column of electrode blocks from top to bottom are respectively: the first electrode block 231-the second electrode block 232-the first electrode block 231-the second electrode block 232. Similarly, the electrode blocks in the second column of electrode blocks from top to bottom are respectively: the first electrode block 231-the second electrode block 232-the first electrode block 231-the second electrode block 232. Accordingly, electrode blocks in a common column and neighboring to each other are connected with different control modules. As voltages output from different control modules are different from each other, voltages input into neighboring electrode blocks tend to be identical. Thus, display effects of neighboring electrode blocks also tend to be identical. Therefore, the vision disparity can be avoided by alternately connecting the electrode blocks with different control modules.
In some embodiments, the second display region is further limited. Specifically, any two neighboring electrode blocks in the second display region are the first electrode block and the second electrode block, respectively. For example, if the second display region includes a first column of electrode blocks and a second column of electrode blocks, the electrode blocks in the first column of electrode blocks from top to bottom are respectively: the first electrode block-the second electrode block-the first electrode block—the second electrode block. The electrode blocks in the second column of electrode blocks from top to bottom are respectively: the second electrode block-the first electrode block-the second electrode block-the first electrode block. Accordingly, any two electrode blocks neighboring to each other are connected with different control modules. As voltages output from different control modules are different from each other, voltages input into neighboring electrode blocks tend to be identical. Thus, display effects of neighboring electrode blocks also tend to be identical. Therefore, the vision disparity can be further avoided.
Referring to FIG. 6, an array substrate according to a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The fifth embodiment also provides a wire configuration of the array substrate. Specifically, a touch sense line 31 is connected with the first control module or the second control module via a wire in the non-display region. As shown in FIG. 6, the second electrode blocks are connected with the second control module via wires located around outskirt of the display region. In this embodiment, the wires are located on the right side of the display region. In some embodiments, the wires may be located on the left side of the display region.

It should be noted that, in the third column, the number of the electrode blocks which are connected with the second control module is not limited by the present disclosure. Similarly, in the fourth column, the number of the electrode blocks which are connected with the second control module is not limited by the present disclosure, as well.
Furthermore, the present disclosure also provides a touch panel, a touch apparatus, a display panel, and a display apparatus. The touch panel includes any one of the array substrate recited above. The touch apparatus includes the touch panel. The display panel includes a color film substrate, any one of the array substrate recited above, and display cells configured between the array substrate and the color film substrate. The display apparatus includes the display panel.
It should be noted that, the touch panel, the touch apparatus, the display panel, and the display apparatus all have the functions of the array substrate recited above.
Relation between the electrode blocks and a common electrode layer is described here within. Specifically, the common electrode layer may be for multiple use or single usage. For example, if the common electrode is only used for display control (i.e. single usage), then the common electrode layer can be configured into an entire layer structure or a structure having a hollow and continuous pattern. In this case, the common electrode layer is only used for display control, thus only electrically connected with a signal wire, wherein the signal wire is used for providing data signals to the common electrode layer, and the data signals are adapted to drive displaying.
If the common electrode layer is for multiple usages, for example, the common electrode layer is used for both display control and touch control. The common electrode layer includes: a plurality of electrode blocks; and a plurality of signal wires, wherein each of the electrode blocks is electrically connected with one of the signal wires through a via hole. When the common electrode layer is used for display control (in the display time cycle of the time sequence), each of the signal wires is used for providing data signals to the corresponding electrode block to which it is connected, and the data signals are adapted to drive displaying. When the common electrode layer is used for touch control (in the touch detection time cycle of the time sequence), each of the signal wires is used for providing data signals to the corresponding electrode block to which it connected, and the data signals are adapted to detect touching. Specifically, according to the self capacitive theory, a touch screen is configured with a plurality of self capacitive electrodes on a common layer, wherein the self capacitive electrodes are electrically isolated from each other. When there is no touch on the touch screen, capacitance on each self capacitive electrode is a fixed value; and when there is a touch on the touch screen, capacitance on the self capacitive electrode where the touch located is the fixed value plus capacitance of human body. As such, a touch position can be determined by detecting capacitance changes on the self capacitive electrodes, wherein the capacitance changes is detected by a touch detection chip. Accordingly, touch detection can be achieved.

A third insulating layer 44 is further set on the touch display wiring 406 and the pixel electrode 407. In order to prevent the touch display wiring 406 from being interfered by electromagnetic signals, the third insulating layer 44 is configured with wire shielding electrode (not shown in FIG. 8), wherein the wire shielding electrode and the touch display wiring 406 are only partially overlapped.

A touch display wiring 605 and a pixel electrode 607 are set on the first insulating layer 52, wherein the pixel electrode 607 is electrically connected with the drain 604 of the thin film transistor through a via hole. A second insulating layer 63 is set overlaying the touch display wiring 605 and the pixel electrode 607. A common electrode layer 606 is set on the second insulating layer 63.
In the embodiment as shown in FIG. 10, the touch display wiring 605 and the pixel electrode 607 are set on a common layer, and are made of a same material, thus they can be formed by one single conductive layer, which will simplify the manufacture process and reduce the manufacture cost thereof. In order to prevent the touch display wiring 605 from being interfered by electromagnetic signals, the touch display wiring 605 is configured with a wire shielding electrode (not shown in FIG. 8) thereon, wherein the wire shielding electrode and the touch display wiring 605 are only partially overlapped. Specifically, the second insulating layer 63 is configured into a two-layer structure, wherein the wire shielding electrode is set between these two layers and above the touch display wiring 605.
In some embodiments, the touch display wiring is configured to be overlapped by the data or gate line. In other words, projections of the touch display wiring and the data or gate line on the substrate are overlapped, so as to improve the aperture ratio and the light transmittance of the array substrate.
In some embodiments, the array substrate further includes a plurality of touch sense lines, wherein each electrode block is only electrically connected with one of the plurality of touch sense lines, and each electrode block is connected with corresponding control module via the touch sense lines.
